  Gym Games
   
  

Traditional Playground games were not just time fillers. Many developmental skills such as listening, quick response, large and small muscle coordination, and sequencing were enhanced by games such as:  Mother May I,  Red Light/Green Light, hopscotch, team jumprope (Double Dutch and Chinese!), parachute games and more.

As long as the weather permits, we will enjoy these games outdoors.  When we have to come indoors we will have fun with tumbling and strength conditioning games.Think of Jacks, it is a great eye/hand coordination game.

Students should wear comfortable and weather appropriate clothing.  No hard-soled shoes.

  Instructor Bio:
  I am a certified ESL teacher with a background in linguistics, literature, history and dance. I have taught at Palaestra for many years and more recently started teaching at Home School Connections. My middle school aged daughter keeps me on my toes and is teaching me to enjoy science, specifically chemistry. I really enjoy teaching writing and literature. My goal is to show students that writing can be if not fun, at least tolerable. When I am not "dance momming” or teaching, I am usually knitting.
